The Monkey Tail Cactus Cutting (3 Pack) is a great option for growers who want to propagate this unique trailing cactus at home. The long hanging stems of this cactus are covered in soft white spines that resemble a monkey’s tail. These cuttings allow collectors and plant enthusiasts to grow their own mature plants from healthy propagation pieces.
Native to the mountainous regions of Bolivia, this cactus naturally grows on rocky slopes where its stems drape and cascade downward. When rooted and mature, the Monkey Tail Cactus can produce long trailing stems that may reach several feet, making it a perfect plant for hanging baskets, elevated planters, or container displays. The fuzzy white spines give the plant a soft, decorative appearance while protecting the stems.
Under the right growing conditions, mature plants may produce vibrant red tubular flowers that emerge along the stems during warmer months. These colorful blooms create a beautiful contrast with the silvery white spines and add extra ornamental value to this already striking cactus.
How to Plant Monkey Tail Cactus Cuttings
Allow the cut end of the cactus cutting to dry and form a callus for several days before planting. Fill a container with a well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix, then place the callused end about 1–2 inches into the soil. Lightly press the soil around the base to keep it stable. Place the pot in bright indirect light and wait about 7–10 days before watering, so the cutting has time to begin developing roots.
Monkey Tail Cactus Cutting Care
Monkey Tail Cactus cuttings prefer bright light to full sun and grow best in a well-draining cactus soil mix. Water sparingly and allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent rot. These cacti prefer warm temperatures around 65–85°F and should be protected from frost. They grow best outdoors in USDA zones 9–11, but can also be grown in containers indoors in cooler climates where they receive plenty of sunlight.
Final Thoughts
Overall, Monkey Tail Cactus cuttings are an excellent way to grow this unusual cactus from propagation pieces. With proper light, well-draining soil, and minimal watering, these cuttings can root successfully and develop into beautiful trailing plants that add texture and character to any cactus or succulent collection.

Loving it so far
I’ve only had this about a week but I like it so far. It has a hook that grabs the vent blade and is very sturdy. It also has a part that slides up and down. I realized after a few days that can be tightened as well. Makes the phone even more still. There is a small button on the right that releases the arms that grab the phone. I didn’t see that noted on the instructions so mentioning it here so no one pulls on them like I did a few times.
As long as this doesn’t damage my vent, I will be pleased.
